This is nuts.
#JAWS joined 40 other journalism and press freedom organizations to sound the alarm on the ICE detention of Nashville journalist Estefany Rodriguez: www.jaws.org/news/press-f...
President Trump and his administration’s views of legality have been guided by the belief that their power is in no way meaningfully constrained by the law—though it would be a mistake to assume that they’ve governed through lawlessness alone.

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...
Defend Public Health and National Nurses United joined forces last Spring to oppose Casey Means as Surgeon General.

Despite Kentucky voters rarely using social security and food stamp cards as a secondary form of identification to vote, the state Senate advanced a bill to prohibit those forms of ID as valid for elections under the state voter ID law. #kyga26
The woman Alex Pretti defended from ICE was also a health care professional—and she was denied the chance to help Pretti in his final moments. trib.al/Y0dRX2x

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.
crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"
“Lifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.”
ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.

-- ICE illegally goes "door to door" in Minneapolis
-- FBI raids the home of a WP journalist
-- DHS illegally arrests, detains 100+ Somalians with legal refugee status
AG Rayfield announces investigation into shooting involving federal agents in Portland
“We have been clear about our concerns with excessive use of force by federal agents in Portland and nationally. We have also been clear about our intent to investigate circumstances involving federal agents to ensure they are accountable to acting within the scope of their official duties. Today’s incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure that the rights and security of Oregonians are protected.”
The Oregon DOJ is opening a formal investigation into an incident in Portland in which two people were shot and injured during an encounter with federal agents. The investigation will look into whether any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority and will include witness interviews, video evidence, and other relevant materials. If evidence of criminal conduct is found, cases may be referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney for potential prosecution.
BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today.
Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews
